However, I did see Unity being used for 3d pornographic games by at least two game studios in Japan which are quite large and established in the hentai game niche. But I didn't really look, and if they would exist, it wouldn't really surprise me (looking at some statements by some gamers in various communities, there seems to be a market for this). If you are looking for precedent cases: I couldn't think of any games which were actually promoting hate speech and are based on Unity. Just make sure you pay for a professional license and take down the Unity splash screen, so they don't get associated with your game in a way that someone might think they had creative influence. So Unity Technologies will likely be happy to take your business. I can not think of any case where technology providers were targeted by protests and boycott calls because they licensed their engine to a game they didn't agree with. But the question is "why would they do that"? Avoiding bad PR? So far, whenever there was a moral outrage about a scandalous game, that outrage was usually targeted at developers, publishers and distributors. So as long as your game is still within the legal limits of what you are allowed to publish, you are not violating the license agreement.Īs the answer by Pako88 points out, Unity might one day decide to change their license agreement in a way which excludes your use-case. The current Unity license terms only want you to "comply with all applicable laws and regulations". I want to make something that may have some mildly provocative/divisive content (not as offensive as say, South Park, which I know was made in Unity, but more serious than South Park) and I'm just making sure I don't get a bunch of work done and then get disappointed later, wishing I had gone with some kind of more free/open engine. Would Unity be able to prevent me from using their game engine or selling my game after I had already purchased appropriate Unity licenses and completed the game?ĭo they have that kind of power with their licensing model? Or would even the most extreme cases still be legally allowed to sell the content? It's not unheard of for less extreme things to get blocked by brands who didn't want to associate with them, for example I saw that Apple removed the Confederate flags from Civil War games in the App Store. Now I have no intention of making such a horrible game but I am using an extreme example to ask my question. now imagine the game is mocking victims and generally being extremely rude, violent, and insensitive. If I make an offensive game can they pull my license and prevent me from selling my game? Like we're talking think of the most offensive thing you can think of: you're in charge of the most efficient genocide against some specific racial/religious/political group, your choice.
